Spin Into Your Saturday  One of the best ways to stick with those weight loss goals is to engage in high-calorie burning activities, such as spinning. Research shows spinning participants burn 400 to 500 calories in a 40-minute session. The Downtown Clubhouse already offers a regular Monday, Wednesday and Friday class, but this spring it's offering an additional challenge for those who want to step it up a notch. If you're ready to take your exercise program to the next level, consider a biweekly Saturday morning two-hour spinning class at the Downtown Clubhouse (members are not required to stay the entire time). Classes are Feb. 10 and 17 and March 10 and 24 from 8 to 10 a.m. Click here for more information |
| Gear up for Street Hockey Kids' program begins Thursday, Feb. 15  Coach Eric Saxton endured a brief stint in the NFL but failed to develop the skills to compete in the NFL.

He now dedicates his life to providing children with a chance to develop the skills necessary to excel in sports. This winter, he's bringing street hockey to the M.A.C., beginning Thursday, Feb. 15.Click here for more information |
